Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-increasing community that offers new ways to make money online. One of them is to become a domain reseller and sell domains to end clients, making revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each and every domain name. Thousands of domains are registered every day, and there are millions of presently functioning domains, so this is a developing marketing niche that you can be a part of.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain contains 2 entities - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we take domain.com, for example, ".com" is the Top-Level Domain and "domain" is the Second-Level Domain.

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The generic TLDs comprise the most common domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the ccTLDs include two-letter abbreviations that represent each country. Examples of country-code TLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a generic Top-Level Domain or a country-code Top-Level Domain, has a Registry - an institution that handles the registrations and determines the requirements that each given TLD may impose, including the length of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar companies operate under the Registry. These are the firms that actually offer the domain name to clients and handle all domain resource records.

Earn Profit From Selling Domain Names

Lots of Registrars have reseller programs that allow individuals to gain cash from offering domains to end users. If you register with such a program, you can kick off your own personal online business. Regularly, a domain will cost less if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is obtained straight from the Registrar by an end user. The cause is that resellers can contact more people in areas or countries where the Registrar may not be famous at all. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will benefit from that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar levies for the domain registration.

Sell Domain Names On Behalf Of Your Personal Trademark Name

When you sign up for a domain name reseller program, you will obtain a web hosting Control Panel where you can fix the prices for the separate top-level domain names that the Registrar provides. Most firms also provide billing software and web site themes for your web storefront, and the automation of the entire process together with the enormous demand for domain names make the domain name reseller market so alluring. You will either get a ready-made web site and use the Registrar system to resell domain names, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can set up your own portal and form for placing orders. Typically, you have the opportunity to pick between the 2 options, so it all depends on how accomplished you are in these matters. As a domain reseller, you will operate under your own brand name and not under the Registrar's brand.

Make Revenue From Reselling Hosting Solutions As Well

An adequate addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting services as well. In this way, you can offer a package deal to persons who would like to launch their online portal and require both a domain name and a hosting plan. A number of companies have such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can have a Virtual Private Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain reseller account and free invoice management software to bill your customers. You can then offer top-level domain names and shared web hosting packages to customers, and since they offer a lot of different domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to persons from all over the globe.
